Set Backs Happen - Still Moving Forward
After great progress last week this week just didn't work out as planned. If I was a quitter, that is just what I would do. I have gone too far to quit now.
My set back - Severe pain from bursitis in my hip. Hard to walk, hard to sit, but I will not give up. Somethings things don't go as planned, but that is OK. I will give it my best anyway.
The truth is that many suffer from pain, so why should I expect to be any different.
For all those who deal with pain daily my heart goes out to you. Don't give up, keep doing your best and trust that this is only a season. Seasons come and go.
Fortunately I have started three new posts, and published one. I thank Kyle for the great training in the boot camp. I am moving further into phase two and hope to complete it before the month is out.
I have found many keywords through Google (alphabet soup method) and Jaxxy keyword search so I have a ton of ideas to work with.
TWO QUOTES THAT GIVE ME PEACE--
"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." (Vaclav Havel)
"When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there." (Jim Henson)
No matter how far you have gone today, if you keep moving forward one step at a time tomorrow will be a better day. (Me)
So for now I leave you with hope. Hope in yourself. Hope in your progress. Hope in the system that WA provides.
Hope you all have a blessed week ahead.

I am so sorry that you have been in such pain. My dad suffered from it while he was still working. He had it in his shoulder. He was a barber and so it would almost always put him out of commission until he got a shot in the joint.(ouch) I have been down myself with diverticulosis which is painful except when you lay prone, but antibiotics seem to be doing the trick. I feel so much better today and opened my computer the first time since Wednesday, but like you, I will continue on and get done what needs to get done,
Take care

Hi Charlotte. I know one doctor offered that option but in the past, I have managed to get better through the therapy they taught me and rest.
I hope you get to feeling better soon and don't give up hope. I know several others who live with pain as well, yet they keep trying anyway.
Have a blessed week ahead.

Oh I am not giving up hope. I know about pain. I had suffered with chronic pancreatic problems from 2006 until 2017 until the Lord healed me. I haven't had any more issues with my pancreas since then. The Lord works according to His time table not ours. I will be keeping, keeping on in this WA journey.
Take care

Have a blessed week.
